ytalk in Technology

Version: V3.0 Patch Level 1. networking, tool A multi-user chat program by Britt Yenne yenne@austin.eds.com. YTalk works almost exactly like the standard Unixtalk program and even communicates with the same talk daemon(s), but YTalk supports multiple connections. Multiple user names may be given as command-line arguments, in the form "name#tty@host" where the optional "#tty" specifies a particular tty. YTalk is able to communicate with both existing versions of Unix talk daemons. Once connected, typing escape gives access to a menu of commands to add or delete users, trace to a file, or set options. If run under the X Window System, YTalk will use separate X windows for each user in the conversaton, otherwise it will split the terminal screen between them. E-mail: . [FTP?] (1995-04-04)
